I was out of town and only just heard of the passing of your son, Kelly. I would like to extend my deepest sympathy. You and your wife are in my prayers.

Dave, Linda and Stacey:
No words can express our sympathy and sorrow we feel for you at the loss of your son, Kelly. So many memories of Dave and Kelly playing together in the backyard and fishing at the lake. One special memory is Kelly pulling Tim out of the creek when he escaped from the house. I will always be grateful that he was there. I used to tell Tim that Kelly was his guardian angel.
Thinking of all of you during this difficult time

My deepest sympathy goes out to Kelly and his family. I went to Higb school with Kelly and he was a funny guy. I'm very grateful for Facebook and the re-connection it brings to friends from long ago. Amy Singleton-Lyons and family

My deepest sympathies to Mr. and Mrs Silvey and Stacy. I was a childhood friend of Kelly's. Haven't seen him in years, but he has touched my life for a long time. Even as a kid and going thru school w him I could always tell he was different than most my friends. He was always so humble and kind. I can't explain it, but you could see it in his face, maybe his expression, I don't know, maybe you know what I mean, but I have always felt this way. I hope you have peace in your heart that he is happy and pain free.

Kelly....You were so brave all the way to the end. You will be missed by many. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Silvey family and all of Kelly's friends. Heaven received a new Angel and he is riding on a Harley! The next time it storms and you hear a rumble...just remember...that's not thunder...it's Kelly revving his bike...ready to roll.
